okay so i have an 05 coupe with a bad cd changer.. i got a replacement and i pulled out the old radio and navi but when i was removing the last six gold screws on the bracket that holds the radio i stripped one... i cant get the last one off.. i thought id come here to see if anyone can recommend a way of getting it out.. right now only tools i have are a flat head and phillips screw driver, but i can get a drill if i need it... any ideas?

 

Did you back the screw out at all? needle nose pliers?

 

naw i couldnt budge it.. but needle nose pliers may work if i try and grab a hold of the head of the screw.. its a lot of work removing that damn radio lol

 

They have a bit at Home Depot that you put in a drill that will remove stripped screws. It kind of threads the screw to pull it out.

 

harbor freight has them too..cheap, and you dont have to mess anything up..works like a champ..

Plus two! Best and easiest way if needle nose pliers won't do.

 

hit that place up yesterday, got a screw extractor set and some needle nose pliers for like ten bucks.. ima try again today after work..

 

Harbor Freight is an awesome place.

 

Awesome for tools, not so awesome for anything electrical. For example, the mini air compressor I bought from there for inflating car tires sucked horribly, but it was the only place I managed to find an inch-pound torque wrench, with a great price too.
